Swinger Club or Libertine Club: What's the Difference?

None. "Swinger" is the historical term, while "libertine" is more commonly used today. Both refer to private establishments where consenting adults come together to meet, dance, watch, or share intimate moments without any obligation.

Where Are the Swinger Clubs in Paris?

• The Center (1st to 4th Arrondissement): The Marais, Île Saint-Louis, and the areas around Palais-Royal host several clubs, often intimate and easily accessible by metro.
• Upscale Neighborhoods (6th, 7th, 8th Arrondissement): Around the Champs-Élysées and Saint-Germain, you'll find more selective clubs with strict dress codes.
• Montparnasse (14th Arrondissement): A long-standing libertine tradition, particularly around Rue de la Gaîté and Boulevard Edgar-Quinet.
• Pigalle and the Northeast (18th, 19th, 20th Arrondissement): More festive and often more affordable options.

Paris also has several libertine saunas for those who prefer a spa-like atmosphere: check out our list of libertine saunas.

First Night: Rules to Know

Inform the reception that it's your first time: they will often give you a tour of the premises. The golden rule is simple: nothing is mandatory. You can spend the evening at the bar, dancing, or watching.

• A refusal, even a gesture, must be respected immediately.
• Always ask before touching, and a couple decides together.
• Condoms are mandatory and provided by the clubs.
• No photos; phones should be put away in intimate areas.
